The Map Factory is the name of our group. We will NOT have individuals names on any of our maps. All of our maps will carry the name of The Map Factory on them in place of the Author.
I may not know much about all the proper etiquette of the foundry, but I have learned a thing or two in the past 2 months. Like how it is, that mapmakers seem to be competing with each other. And at the same time, they are also tasked to the job of helping to develope others maps.
I believe that this set up is why maps take so long to quench.
Do not misunderstand me. I do not wish to try and sidestep the process. I expect that our maps will undergo all the foundry scrutiny that all the others do.
Our group intends to work together as a team to make some maps, not as competitors. we will work out a first draft and submit it to the foundry, just like everyone else. The only difference being, we are a team, and thus, will most likely produce better first drafts than most.
As for our group somehow taking away from the foundry forum, You could not be more wrong. No one in our group will be visiting the Foundry forum any less.
There are people like me, that for one reason or another, do not have the knowledge or perseverance to see a project through. But with our group, we can work together to see our maps quenched. Some of us will even wear the group sig. to show our participation.
The only people that could possibly be against the formation of our group, are those that are into competing and holding others down.
